Most of us go through life trying to do our best at whatever we do, whether it’s our job, family, school or anything else. But some time ago, I got to 16 that I wasn’t improving much at those things even though I was spending a lot of time working hard at them. This situation 17 to be pretty common.

So I’d like to share with you some ideas about why that is and what we can all do about it. We can learn from the most successful people and teams. They go through life purposely alternating(交替) 18 two zones: the learning zone and the performance zone.

The learning zone is when our goal is to improve. Then we do activities designed for 19 , concentrating (专心) on what we haven’t learned well yet, which means we have to expect to make mistakes, knowing that we will learn from 20 . That is very different from what we do 21 we’re in our performance zone, which is when our goal is to do something as well as we can to carry it out. Then we concentrate on what we have already learnt well and we try to make 22 mistakes.

Both of these zones should be part of our lives, but being 23 about when we want to be in each of them, with what goal, focus and expectations, helps us better perform and better improve. The performance zone pushes for our immediate performance, while the learning zone prepares for our growth and our future performance. The reason 24 many of us don’t improve much though we have worked hard is that we spend almost all of our time in the performance zone. This 25 our growth and also our performance over the long term. So we should have a clear idea about when to learn and when to perform in our life. 16. A. realize B. require C. remember D. recommend

17. A. turns up B. turns on C. turns out D. turns around 18. A. through B. between C. among D. across

19. A. movement B. invention C. education D. improvement 20. A. it B. us C. them D. me 21. A. until B. when C. since D. before 22. A. smaller B. fewer C. bigger D. more 23. A. interested B. amazed C. clear D. excited 24. A. which B. what C. when D. why

25. A. improves B. increases C. prevents D. provides 三、阅读理解（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）

How to be a safe and smart searcher

Several keywords will help to find better results.

Use more than one keyword when you are doing a search. If you want to find out about seagulls, for example, search for “bird seagull” and not just “seagull” -- because seagull might also be the name of just about anything else, from a hotel to a documentary film.

Exact reference can help you find what you’re looking for.

If you are looking for an exact phrase or sentence, e.g. “seagulls are very clever”, type it between inverted commas (“”) and only exact matches will be shown. This is useful when you want to find something you’ve already seen but lost.

Avoid common words like “a” or “the” in a search. These aren’t always helpful and are usually unnecessary.

Remove unwanted results by adding a minus symbol (-). For example, “Seagull-hotel-film” would leave out all references to hotels and films. Check your spelling.

Make sure that you spell every word in the search box correctly. The smallest typing mistakes can bring unwanted results -- especially when the mistyped word exists. Have a filter.

It’s a good idea to filter(过滤) your online searchers, especially when you are searching for pictures. Ask an adult to help you add a filtering system. There are lots of filtering software options available. Experiment with different search engines until you find the one that’s best for you. Some search engines personalize the results, so check out the option of using a search engine that doesn’t do this and you will get different results.

Reliability is very important when you search on the Internet.

Always ask yourself, “Is this reliable?” Don’t make the mistake of believing everything you see. Some websites are unreliable and some information is false. Check your information on other websites before accepting it.

29. Which of the following things should you do as a smart searcher?

a. Use only one keyword in a single search.

b. Avoid terms like “a” or “the” in a search. c. Choose your search engine carefully.

d. Pay no attention to small spelling mistakes. e. Compare information from different sites.

A. abc B. ace C. bcd D. bce 30. According to the passage, the minus symbol ___________.

A. can make search results more exactly B. is equal to inverted commas in a search

C. is likely to give you a long list of results D. is usually considered unnecessary in a search

31. From the passage, we know that a filtering system ____________.

A. is used to tick out false information on a website B. is especially important while searching for pictures C. personalizes your results when you are doing a search

D. is useful to find something you’ve already seen but lost C

On the last evening of my mom’s most recent trip to visit me in London, she sat across the table peeling pomegranate(石榴) seeds into a big bowl.

“Eat this tomorrow after I’m gone, you lazy bee,” she teased, dismissing the piles of books, clothes and electronics across the table waiting to be packed into her luggage.

Mom knows me too well: pomegranate seeds are my favorite. They never appear on my food schedule though, as I lack the patience to peel them properly. Mom doesn’t have the patience either, except when it comes to feeding me.

Her hands moved gently and swiftly, while her eyes looked carefully at the small watery little seeds, attentively trying not to crush(压碎) them.

When I woke up the next day and opened the fridge. Sure enough, waiting for me was a clear jar of perfect smooth and shiny pomegranate seeds.

Ever since I left home to study in London ten years ago, food has been a big part of mom’s London visits. With each trip, she would be sure to fill the entire fridge with hand-made dumplings, rice cakes, rice puddings, sesame filled sweet dumplings and many other sweets I struggle to find English translations for.

I love watching her turn the loose white flour into moon-shaped dumplings magically, and place them neatly into a tray.

Whenever it’s time to say goodbye, mom would never say that she misses me, or that she loves me. Instead, she’ll just say: “don’t starve yourself while I’m not with you”. That’s because she belongs to a generation where food is an expression of love. At that time, her favorite after-school activity was visiting an old granny, who would feed her rice mixed with sesame oil. “Mmm… that’s the best food we could hope
